The fan on my quicksilver 2002 power supply is making a lot of noise ie all most dead. can it be replaced or is another ps in order?

thanx

It can be replaced, but you will have to open the power supply to do it, obiously you should have it unplugged, but there's some hefty filter capacitors on the AC side that can pack a punch for quite a while after being unplugged so keep that in mind

I cant remember off hand if the stock fan in the power supply is AC or DC, maybe someone else can confirm, but you will need to know before shopping for a new one
